Adverse event means any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. Suspected adverse reaction means any adverse event for which there is a reasonable possibility that the drug caused the adverse event.
Why is it important to report ADRs to the FDA?
This case demonstrates why it is important that health care practitioners report ADRs to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It was also a pivotal case resulting in recognition and definition of one type of preventable adverse drug reaction— drug interactions mediated by the cytochrome P450 pathway of drug metabolism.
Why are there so many drug adverse events?
Concomitant drugs are those which are not suspected of causing one or more of the reactions. Many drug products appear frequently in adverse event reports simply because they are commonly taken by many people in the population, not because they are responsible for more adverse events.
